UPDATE: We have received an email from the
agency representing TeamFanShop, LSU's e-commerce partner,
stating the Tiger's online shop, LSUShop.net, was "not
the result of a hack by an outside party" and was the "result
of a human error by a designer."

Mere hours after the bowl game announcement, it appeared as
though an Alabama fan pulled a fast one on their SEC rival’s official online shop,
removing Tigers apparel on LSUShop.net, and converting the
site into the “BCS Championship Headquarters” of the Crimson
Tide.

Attributing the incorrect price to a t-shirt is human error.
Replacing an e-commerce site’s entire inventory with product you
don't own and shouldn't have images for is much more than
that.

In other words, the statement sounds like the people behind the
online shop are more willing to admit their own grave mistake –
truthfulness be damned - than admit they’d been outsmarted by
their bitter rival.

Advantage, Roll Tide.

Expect plenty more southern hospitality in the month leading up
to the Jan. 9 game.
